ENDORSEMENTS

Choices in Montgomery

A strong challenger worthy of support is “Vanessa Atterbeary, an attorney who serves on the Montgomery County Commission for Women” a “Purple Line supporter[s]” and is “better attuned to the district’s mix of affluent and working-class residents.”

Washington Post, August 23, 2010

“I am pleased to endorse Vanessa Atterbeary for the House of Delegates.  Her dedication to the community is unmatched, her leadership is inspiring, and her drive to ensure a better future for all residents of District 18 is tireless.  With the economy slow to recover, Vanessa’s approach to business and tax policy will reverse the trend of employers preferring Virginia.  With education threatened by county shortfalls, Vanessa will fight to keep the state from foisting its pension responsibilities onto Montgomery County. With the desperate need for transportation solutions, Vanessa will see to it the Purple Line is completed and the Corridor Cities Transitway is realized.

I wholeheartedly endorse the candidacy of Vanessa Atterbeary for the House of Delegates for the good of Maryland, for the good of Montgomery County, and for the good of District 18.”

Doug Duncan, Montgomery County Executive 1994-2006

“Vanessa Atterbeary represents the dynamic and positive vision of what Montgomery County can and should be. She is thoughtful, energetic, smart, and deeply concerned about the needs of all the people. Vanessa will continue to reach out as she has throughout her campaign, and she will certainly bring back increased support from Annapolis.’

“I am proud to endorse Vanessa. It’s rare that you have an opportunity to endorse a candidate who you’ve watch develop into exactly the type of representative that District 18 needs in the General Assembly and one that the entire state can take pride in. Her intelligence, integrity, and proven ability to work with others will enable her to be the effective advocate that her district needs in Annapolis. Her campaign is truly about the people, being responsive to the people and fighting for them. District 18 and Montgomery County need Vanessa and I enthusiastically endorse her.”

Frank Turner, Maryland House of Delegates, District 13
